The Filipino Canadian Community Celebrate Canada 150 and TFC 10

While frenzied preparations and huge festivities are brewing across the country in celebration of Canada’s 150thanniversary, the Filipino Canadian community likewise gears up to pay tribute and to celebrate TFC’s 10th year in Canada - a country that has welcomed Filipino immigrants in their midst through the years.

BBC News Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt had mentioned in his article “Canada 150: What It Means to be Canadian Today” that “in recent years Canada has undergone immense change. Toronto is now one of the most multicultural cities in the world.”

It is but fitting that the celebration be done in Toronto where the Filipino community comprises 62% of the total (Filipino) population in Canada, making them a significant presence in this bustling and diverse city.

As the growth of the Filipino community in Canada has swelled, TFC has also experienced a boost. TFCCanada Country Manager Jun Del Rosario says that TFC “eventually became one of the most watched multicultural channel on cable TV. This allowed us to expand our services (remittance, cargo) and provide the market with more entertainment options (theatrical, events).” This phenomenal growth is one of the reasons why TFC can bring huge events like ASAP Live in Toronto.

ABS-CBN Global Head of Events Ricky Resurreccion underlines this mutually beneficial coexistence when he states, “for so many years, Filipinos have become a positive contributor to the rich and diverse tapestry of Canada. And what better way to celebrate our community’s contribution to the country’s 150th anniversary than by bringing the premier party celebration TFC and ABS-CBN has to offer – ASAP.” The merriment is doubly meaningful because as Resurreccion adds, “as we celebrate TFC’s 10th birthday in Canada, let this also be our gift to our loyal Kapamilyas in the True North.”

In true Kapamilya (family) fashion, this back-to-back celebration of Canada 150 and TFC’s 10th in Canada will be one for the books. As Del Rosario mentioned, “I believe that TFC started in the role of a bridge. One that connected the Fil-Canadians to the homeland. However, I would like to see that role evolve into one of an advocate and a champion of the Fil-Canadian.” This epic event is another glowing proof that TFC upholds the Fil-Canadian.
